Casa Amalia Gozo – a private home for the elderly located in the heart of Victoria, Gozo, is celebrating its first anniversary.
The home specialises in dementia care services which are available both during the day and at night.
Minister for Gozo Justyne Caruana explained that Casa Amalia is the first private specialist service in Gozo for dementia.
Dr Caruana stressed that the elderly sector is very important to the Ministry for Gozo, and therefore any professional services offered by this home that are purchased by the Ministry, will be provided free of charge to those in need. 
“During the past year we have introduced new services and enhanced existing ones for our seniors. We have added beds in homes for the elderly, both in long-term care and respite, and strengthened the Meals on Wheels service, among other things,” said Minister Caruana.
Casa Amalia has 23 bedrooms over three floors and offers facilities for couples as well as single people.
The rooms are all equipped with modern facilities to ensure quality care and dignity to the elderly, which is provided by employees with specialised training in the dementia sector.
